Tim,
Thanks for the reply. Please understand that my rankings don't say a thing about how I'd play the race. I don't be the favorite very often - at least not to win - especially in the Derby. I have Harlan's Holiday on top only because I think he deserves to be there, not because I want to bet on him.
I agree that if the track is wet, I won't look twice at Request for Parole. Good point about all the horses that are eligible to bounce. I think the key is to pick which horses are least likely to bounce and evaluate their chances/value accordingly.
Finally, thanks for pointing out that we all have the same goal here - to win and become better handicappers. This thread has had a lot of activity and I'm happy about that. I was beginning to wonder if Mr. Jerry Bitter didn't have all the aliases here. But, it looks like we can have a good discussion (with the occasional whining from Jerry, which is expected) after all.
